I had a good start when I embarked...I had bought a lot of 100+ lower grade cards for $100 in the 80s. I had at one time had a goal of having one contemporaneous card of each hall of famer and the T206 set fit nicely with that so I was probably half way there when I started. I started with the goal of having only one pose of each player in the set and settling for any full card and I just started checking them off. Next thing you know I had decided to go with all the 518...and then I picked up a low grade Demmitt St. L. A little at a time, I clicked them off. Had a couple of large trades with Marc and one with Teddy Z. My set is now technically low grade but overall pleasing and I continue to upgrade a little at a time. It is a relationship set...the only set that I have found that I will take out and look through again and again. I expect I have about $15K in mine (thanks in large part to my head start which included a Cobb, a couple Mattys and probably 200 others.
